Congrats to Jami - way to go girl!!! Have a great weekend!!!
WOW...you ladies do amazing work!!! I love all of them!
ReplyDeleteOCC, LOVE all of the beautiful samples! Thanks Lynda for the awesome sketch, I had so much fun with it!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend,
Jennifer :)
Awesome samples girls! This was such a FUN sketch! Thanks Lynda, you rock!
ReplyDeleteThanks to all the JB girls for their samples too!!!
All amazing, incredibly detailed cards! Love how one simple sketch can launch so much creativity!! I have to know, though, truly - looking at these cards, detail after little detail, creative touch after creative touch...how long does it take any/all of you to make a card like that? I feel like I take a long time now, and my cards are nowhere near your league! Thanks for all the wonderful inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteWow awesome samples of the sketch.. Lynda I love this sketch.

ReplyDeleteLove all your cards - such detail. Sketch is a good one - not too fiddly and enough space for a decent image. This is a card I made using it http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1097304?cat=500&ppuser=132530. I think I will do some Christmas ones too.

Here is mine for this week: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1099080?cat=500&ppuser=156271.
ReplyDeleteI tweaked the sketch a little bit and then I really challenged myself. I essentially let my daughter pick the color scheme as the card is a thank you card for our daycare provider. I think that will be the last time I do that!
Thanks!
Amazing cards ladies! Here is my entry.
ReplyDeleteThanx for looking.
